Overview
Nerves are on edge in the "Veedel": Shop owner Adil Faras and young mother Nina Schmitz also think something has to be done. They have joined the self-proclaimed vigilante group "Wacht am Rhein" and patrol to make the streets safer. But then the son of the owner, Peter Deisböck, is shot dead during a raid on a pet shop. Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk investigate. Urgent suspect: native North African Khalid Hamidi. Vigilante leader Dieter Gottschalk immediately calls a vigil for the murder victim. In the heated mood, it is almost forgotten that a student has been reported missing: Baz Barek was on his way home on the night of the murder. The description of the perpetrator could also fit him.
About the show
Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
